Little Known Chinese Brand Topples Samsung In Africa by Corroro: 10:46am On Apr 20, 2021 |
Many things happen differently in Africa and one of which is the stands of smartphone companies. dominant Korean smartphone maker Samsung may be the biggest smartphone maker globally, but this isn’t the case in Africa. According to a new report from research firm Counterpoint, the dominant Korean smartphone maker was bested by little known Chinese brand TECNO in 2020. Per Counterpoint’s data, Transsion-owned Tecno was responsible for 18% of the total smartphone shipments in Africa last year. The research firm attributes Tecno’s rise to a strong second half of the year and its affordable smartphone portfolio. In contrast, Samsung could muster just 15% as it reportedly faced “supply chain disruptions” in the early half of 2020. Samsung isn’t the only big smartphone name coming under pressure in Africa. Huawei retained its fourth place on the continent with an 8% market share but fell further behind TECNO’s sister brand Itel (12%). Xiaomi, meanwhile, saw massive gains in Africa. Its shipment numbers grew by 126% in 2020 compared to 2019, doubling its market share to 4%. Oppo saw gains of 57% year over year, too, holding on to 4% of the market share ahead of Apple, HMD, and Realme. Transsion’s premium brand Infinix also saw gains and held onto its fifth position in the market shipment hierarchy. With all these stats one might wonder why Samsung is floundering in Africa? Simple! Budget Smartphones are very good business. Unlike North America or the EU, around four in five smartphones shipped in Africa fall below the $200 price band per Counterpoint. It’s a market heavily driven by value, and the players that can offer solid devices at lower price points are reaping the rewards. While Tecno doesn’t offer cutting-edge or novel technologies in its products, its budget Spark and flagship Camon lines come in well under $300. Samsung’s Galaxy A series is the only affordable competitor at this price point. Huawei’s Y series has also been a solid performer, according to the report. With the pandemic marginally abating across the continent, Samsung will likely recover some market share in 2021. But will it play second fiddle to TECNO going forward? We’ll have to wait and see.

I saw the headline and was like let me know the new mobile brand in town, and all I see is tecno, a whole tecno, Africa most preferred mobile brand. They sure know how to upset all other brands, and they have really worked hard over the years and tecno taking over from Samsung (in Africa) proves they really know the African market in and out well. |

sunshineV: Just see yourself, you that you claimed to be using Xiaomi, you allowed grandma to use Tecno That means tecno is good, nah noise you Sabi to make here on Nairaland. You can get her a Spark 5 Pro or the latest upgraded Spark 7P. Or you tell grandma to delete all the excessive videos and unnecessary WhatsApp messages, I advise this based on experience with my grandmother. |

Let them start selling their phone at above $500 and let see it they will topple Samsung. Who in his or her right sense will see a Samsung of same price as a tecno and still choose a tecno. stop supporting mediocrity. 1 Like |

Tecno that can't even make their presence felt in their home country China. If they are as good as claimed, they ought to have made their presence felt at home. After all, charity begins at home. 2 Likes |
